From the 6-10th of September, a meeting took place at the Adventist school in Villa Aurora, in Florence. The meeting included 20 experts that came together to talk about the present and future of the language exchange and culture programs that are chaired by Dr. Barna Magyarosi, the Director of Education of the Inter-European Division.

The participants came from Adventist universities and language schools in England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, USA, Brazil and Spain.
